Core Tip |
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) circulates as a very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-like lipoviral particle. Apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100) is the core protein of VLDL, buts its role in HCV has remained incompletely characterized. Use of gene-editing with transcription activator-like effector nucleases permits the characterization of the role of apoB100 in HCV. We demonstrate that apoB100 is required for HCV infection. Loss of apoB100 results in the secretion of HCV virions with an altered lipid composition and limited ability to infect naive cells. Mipomersen, an FDA-approved antisense inhibitor of apoB100, has an anti-HCV effect and limits the viral infectivity.
